+OpenWRT on the Sony PS3 Game Console
+
+The OpenWRT build will create both a 1st stage PS3-Linux image
+suitable for programming into the PS3 flash memory, and a 2nd
+stage PS3-Linux image suitable for loading via bootloaders or
+the kexec utility.
+
+The 2nd stage image is convenient for testing new builds.  It can
+be loaded from disk, USB device, or the network by an existing
+Other OS bootloader.  After the 2nd stage image is tested and
+found to be good, the 1st stage image can then be programmed into
+flash memory.  It is recommended to use this method during
+development to avoid corrupting the flash memory contents, which
+requires a reboot to the Game OS to repair.
+
+Known good Other OS bootloader images and installation information
+can be found here:
+
+  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/
+
+The 2nd stage image file is bin/openwrt-ps3-vmlinux.elf.  It can
+be loaded with an entry in the bootloader config file.  It has
+no initrd file.
+
+The 1st stage image is named bin/otheros.bld.  It can be programmed
+into flash memory either from Linux or the Game OS.  From Linux,
+use the command:
+
+  ps3-flash-util -w otheros.bld
+
+From the Game OS, use the menu item 'Install Other OS'.
+
+Tips on how to recover your PS3-Linux system when it hangs up or no
+longer boots can be found here:
+
+  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/ps3-howto/ps3-boot-recovery-howto.txt
+
+To alter the kernel command line options, run 'make kernel_menuconfig'
+and go to 'Kernel Options' -> 'Initial kernel command string'.
+
+The default video behavior is to autodetect the monitor capabilities,
+which should work for most monitors.  More info on video modes can be
+found in the man page of the ps3-video-mode utility.
